How to Make Wooden DIY Vertical Wind Turbine!
Here’s another great site that details every step of the way so you can build yourself a DIY vertical wind turbine.
The Zoetrope is a vertical-axis wind turbine made from common materials such as stove pipe, metal brackets, plastic sheet and a trailer hub.

The Zoetrope was commissioned by Washington (USA) resident and renewable energy supporter Mike Marohn to provide supplemental water heating.
